Well, if the retrofitter won't take it back and redo it, and and you're unwilling to find another framebuilder to attach cable stops (shouldn't be too hard / expensive, though paint will need to be retouched), then it will come down to what size tubing your frame is. I know from past searches that there are some options around for 28.6 and 31.8 diameter tubing, but if you're putting this on, say, an oversized downtube (34.9mm, like I was), then you're only option is to have the stop(s) brazed on.
Here is a page with various alternatives if you're frame can accommodate them:
